What was meant to be a quiet family moment after a wedding has unexpectedly become a viral sensation. In the clip, bride Tanya Singh sits among her in-laws during a small ritual, holding her guitar as she prepares to sing Ek Din Aap from the 1997 film Yes Boss. Her gentle voice instantly takes over the room.

But just moments before she begins, something else happens something that has now sparked intense online debate.


A Beautiful Song Overshadowed by a Ghunghat Tug

As Tanya prepares to sing, a woman seated in front repeatedly tries to pull her ghunghat down to cover her face completely. Each time, Tanya gently lifts it back up so she can see and breathe before starting her performance. The subtle back-and-forth continues until she finally begins the song.


While the gesture might seem small, many viewers felt it revealed a larger issue. The video, posted with the caption, “If talent par ghunghant daalna had a scene," quickly attracted thousands of reactions questioning why the bride’s comfort and talent seemed secondary.




Social Media Calls Out “Ghunghat Policing”

The comments reflect a strong sense of frustration:

“We still live in an India where ghunghat is valued more than talent."

“A talented bahu, but in law’s only care about ghunghat."

“This video is a clear depiction of how women themselves embrace patriarchy."


One viewer wrote emotionally:

“Isn’t it sad how the girl is so talented and the only focus of the women around her is on the height of her ghunghat! Just in case chin reveal ho jaye! I’m tired of seeing women around pulling other women down even in the slightest ways. Will this ever change? I am so sad."





Beyond the Viral Moment

Tanya isn't new to performing. Her Instagram features soulful covers like Sham Bhi Koi by Amit Trivedi and Tera Mera Pyar Amar by Lata Mangeshkar proof that her musical gift goes far beyond one wedding ritual.

While the debate around ghunghat continues, one thing is clear: Tanya’s voice and confidence have struck a chord far louder than the moment that tried to overshadow them.
